1 month from now. I can FRY my cpu if it pleases me Inte; will cover the cost for it

Thanks. I did not know that 1.7V was that bad. I have already reset to default and ofcourse, no more overcloking this chip. [Maybe max to 4.2GHz where the Core Voltage was set around 1.25]. I have already updated my bios to 1505 which should support 4790K without any problem. I am actually buying intel's 25$ insurance for CPU OC. https://click.intel.com/tuningplan/ . I think 25$ is worth incase i have to spend a 300$. I set the CPU core voltage at 1.55 and and start input voltage at 1.7V. The bios did say that i can more. But it didn't let me go more showing a red text. And if i did it showed me a cpu over voltage error when booting in bios. Till I am on the safe side I am gonna be happy.

Here. I am using a custom water loop. What is the VIN5 under motherboard voltages ? Why is it same as CPU-Z core voltage

If I am sure the I should look at the VID right ?

Thanks. I am actually gonna get this, http://click.intel.com/tuningplan/purchase-a-plan/ Incase if anything goes wrong.. I won't be a stupid to even think about overclocking this cpu anymore.

@LogGiCalDrm Is this good, Not overclocked. But in cpu Z the core voltage is stil 1.7xxV. All setting has been left to auto in bios which is default.

hahaha didn't know that was coming. The cpu is now running at 36C at default bios settings. Is it good ? it went up over 90C for only minutes and then came back down to 80. It always happens to me no matter what temp is it. It goes up till 50 and back down to 40 I bought the cpu less than 2 weeks ago, could intel find out that the chip was using over 1.75V ? I saw in the OC Panel in Extreme Mode that the target was 1.75V so I thought that 1.75 was safe.

New to overclocking Didn't know it was that bad as the final temps went to 100 for about a min and then got back to 80-90 safely. I have CPU-Z shot up there in the pic. See it please. It was overclocked to 4.4GHz and prime 95 ran about 150 mins without any problems. But as of your advice. I am lowering it back to default. I am gonna sell this off and get a 4790k Nooo....and after reading some other overcloking guides, I am suprised as well. Thanks Lowering them down Nah you don't. I was changing the radiator position and rearranging the fans as of http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1858957/airflow-101-setting-fans-keeping-computer-cool.html guide. Because i had my radiators in bottom, the tubes were long and I had to safely clear the coolant to a bottle and then rearrange the radiator and started the watercooling system. My first time using a custom waterloop I am juz 15 though And for your information, the cpu is still running with that voltage

The maximum I can go is 4.4GHz. The bios gives me the option to increase the voltage but when the computer starts it says a error, CPU OVER VOLTAGE in bios itself and asking me to change it. Should I remove the waterblock and refit it again ?

Here is my result. Is it normal ? As linus said in his video [ i have the same cpu n mobo with RM1000 PSU ] I tried his final setting 46 for the core values and 1.25V for cpu. But that did boot up till rog windows 8 logo and then a BSOD and just a continous loop. So i did this setting, 42 for all cores 1.35 core voltage DRAM 1600mhz freq. My room temp is about 30 degree. Can anyone mention if my fans are configured the correct way. EDIT : 4.3GHZ with same settings. My CPu temp on OC Panel is : 68 Is there a way to change the thing that appears on control panel ? Why is it still @3.50GHz ?

I have use arctic silver mx-4 paste. The waterblock is tighten down as much as possible. Installation was done as XSPC manual said for socket 1150. I have 2 140mm fans on top, 2 140mm on front pulling air inside. 2 120mm on bottom which is pulling air from bottom and cooling the rx240 radiator. It is a 1650rpm xspc fan. I have only one 140mm fan at the back of the case pushing air away. There are soo many space left in bottom, top and back where the air can go away. I am using phanteks enthoo primo.

Guys, I am trying to overclock my CPU and I continue to get WHEA_uncorrectable_Error in 2 mins after windows starts. i am using Maximus VI extreme mobo with custom waterloop. Here is temps when using prime 95 without overcloking, I have two corsair vengeance pro 2x8Gb 1866mhz sticks. But when I Check in bios it says, 2 x corsair vengeance pro 8gb 1333MHz running @ 1333mhz I use the overcloking presets on bios but it continues to fail. Here is my bios look. http://rog.asus.com/254052013/maximus-motherboards/recommended-settings-for-overclocking-maximus-vi-motherboards/ This is my first time overcloking. Can anyone recommend me the setting i can use

Just a question. If windows worked fine and I could install my gpu driver, does it means that the uefi on gpu is already enabled.

Upddated biso to 1505 using BIOS_updater_for_New_4th_Gen_Intel_Core_Processors1.5M and now boot time is just taking 20 seconds. I guess it is reasonable for a old HDD. And less than 2 seconds in bios.

What can I do, a single game project takes up most of my disk. I normally partition my 500 gb disk to 300 gb for windows local disk. And I will use it for all installations and have my current project files on it. others on the remaining partition and external hdd. I think a 500GB ssd should be enough for me. But right now on this pc I am not sure the the ssd is a problem. I am installing UEFI windows on this pc and let me check it. Before that I will defragment the hdd as you said. Clearing out all partitions and everything. is this good ?

?

I have tried.... in windows 8.1 and windows 8. All my hardware are new. Except the HDD [but it should not be slowing down the boot] It is WD Black 2.5" disk. Used about a year. It actually sucks, having spend 2k usd on a PC that works bad than a 300$ samsung laptop [1.4ghz Amd e1 cpu, 8gb ddr3] and a old PC which is soo cheap

USB 2.0 ? Usb 2.0 has three ports on mobo, One used by the oc panel. Usb 3.0 has only one

woow, I still wonder why it takes soo much time on bios. Do you guys have any ideas ? I used the overcloking profiles in bios to check if I can overclock but I couldn't use windows. The temps were below 50 and when i started prime95 windows showed [whea_uncorrectable_error] and shut down. Some overcloking presets did not even let me to go to windows and showed failure in bios. Is it normal or should I actually get a exchange for cpu/mobo ?

I am in malaysua, so the room temps here are always from 25 - 35 degree Celsius. I am not sure why the temp is not that cool. Any ideas ?

Save money on 3dmark now by getting it from steam. I got mine yesterday. 60% Off. http://www.futuremark.com/benchmarks/3dmark http://store.steampowered.com/app/223850/ Just for 9.99 USD. 24.99 is something too much for that app and I think 9.99 is not good too. But this is a great chance to get it if you want to benchmark you gpu. You can then login to 3dmark site through steam and check all account details.

Anyway i need to use it for 6-12 months to make sure it works well before I void the warranty. So i choosed it. Anyways, there is not much difference in the prices when I compare it here.

I think i said about it in my first post. Thats why. There is a small sticker on one of the four gpu screws which I can't remove unless if I don't need the warranty. I chose phanteks casing because of all the space for radiators I have. They will be done in future. By the way, DCU II fans are silent but still not that silent under load.
